Transforming a Château Room into a French Elegance Masterpiece

[@KarenJones-ce2no]

Terry "It's super easy" As all our jaws drop at the amount of work involved 😉 x

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Haha. Thanks Karen 🥰

[@stephaniemorosin6575]

Does your talent know no bounds?? It’s going to come out amazing!!

[@feetfirstchiropody330]

It's going to take you ages to do all that room 😲

[@gingerellison2497]

I had no idea you could even create a wood effect with just paint. So cool!

[@merlebrown1565]

The difference w your channel is that you all are not just passionate about the château but you all appear to genuinely enjoy the process of the restoration. You don’t just do what is most expedient but rather take the time to execute each decision and step in the process well! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Merle 🥰

[@beaniecat1980]

Very well said!😊

[@dashaway1460]

Very true! The jobs you start actually get finished! Kudos to you all!

[@rmil4531]

They all graft. Quite simply they know what they have to do to achieve a wonderful finish. I’m impressed in every episode. They deserve 100,000 more subs.😊💕❤️

[@suzannestubbins]

"Well said"😊

[@mauricewright5279]

Gosh, it is like watching michelangelo at work in the Sistine chapel. You are clearly very talented and you make us feel as if we could do this too. However, amazing job on this

[@chateaudelalacelle]

@@mauricewright5279 thank you so much 🙏🥰🥰

[@maryhollenbach4966]

I’ve played with this technique, remember to keep your colors for the future, in case your beautiful work gets marked or scraped at some point. It’s going to be incredibly beautiful.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Mary 🥰

[@debbiemilan2867]

“It’s super easy,” he says! 😂😂 It’s going to be absolutely exquisite, but with the time required something tells me Ash is going to often find you blissfully painting away long into the night! I get that way myself when I start a new project. Enjoy yourself, but don’t forget to sleep now and again! I can’t wait to see the finished room. Your family just amazes me! 💕💕

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Haha. Thanks Debbie 🥰

[@madamevavra]

Thank you for teaching all of us so many faux painting, furniture refinishing , gilding and plaster techniques! I’m always fascinated by your vision and how beautifully it all comes together. You have a rare skill and it makes me feel like I’m looking over Leonardo’s or Rembrandt’s shoulder as he worked. Just beautiful!!

[@leisameade7526]

Terry, I love how you say “it’s super easy” to create the wood effect panel, maybe for you but not for me. You’re so talented. I loved watching the process of the test panels. I can’t wait to see the whole done.

[@tstrong7910]

Terry I can't applaud you enough for not settling when things don't quite "feel" right. As a viewer, the journey to bring your vision to life is more interesting than the final outcome as stunning as your creations are. I don't care how many times you have to change your mind to get there so long as you are true to yourself. A change in direction indicates to me that something amazing is about to happen and I'm here for it ❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🙏 ☺️

[@tstrong7910]

Terry, just so that I'm tracking with you, will ALL the walls in the bedroom formerly known as the "red bedroom" now be faux wood effect with gold molding overlays? No paint on the walls at all now correct? If so might I suggest you call that room the "panelled bedroom"?

[@williambrown355]

So agree with this comment. I do worry that everything will be done. Then what are we going to watch. But I am sure this will be a continuing story.

[@anitariley2681]

Ever since I saw a lady painting sets with realistic trees and flowers, and for another play, woodgrain. I was in awe of people that could do that. So I am in awe of you! People with your talent are magic!

[@josedacosta9847]

The amount of work that involves just create one panel is unbelievable. If was me I will had gone for the red., I’m a artist.

[@sallyward5937]

I don't usually watch paint demos, they're too slow and boring, but I was absolutely mesmerized! That was the coolest thing I've ever seen! Thanks for that, Terry! 😁🇺🇸

[@lisagogal261]

It wasn’t until recently I understood that people cannot see the subtle differences in color that I can see. Ash has really brought that home for me. I LOVE the wood grain that you have created Terry! You are a master!

[@melaniegardner7317]

Terry, you are SO gifted!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Melanie. He is!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@peterwhite9261]

Yea Terry, I don't think it is that easy. You are a master mixer! That room is going to look amazing. The color for the wood stain and the fabric are beautiful. Also, the blue/ green tint paint looks a perfect match to the fabric. I just want to give a big thank you to you all for supporting and hosting Tanya's charity event. I am trying to encourage her to set up a link where people like us on both channels can contribute as well. I am still blown away by your open house. The place is stunning. ❤

[@bryanspindle4455]

Wow. It's amazing how realistic the faux wood graining looks. That will look incredible on the paneling. I am amazed at how much it rains in France. It is almost like the tropics at times!

[@janerobo5911]

With ease because you are an ace designer with attention to detail, skill and flair. Cant wait to see 😊

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Wow, thank you! 🤩

[@Kitty_cat2001]

The sample of blue really matches well with the curtains which will be lovely.

[@JSUKyrks69]

That’s super clever. Gunna look stunning. Bit like titanic’s first class lounge.

[@jluff753]

Terry you are an extremely talented artist. That is art. You have a gift. Thank you for using that gift and sharing with all of us, it’s beautiful. ❤

[@Mark-vj7zd]

My hat’s off to you. It’s quite an undertaking. As someone who has marbled an entire mirror maze and done a little of what you’re attempting, I can tell you that the biggest challenge is in creating enough variation in grain so that it feels natural while keeping the whole project ‘of a piece’. You’ve also got a lot of directional changes and tight panel mouldings to contend with. So good luck, I’m sure it’ll be fantastic when complete.

[@johnje4285]

Definitely the best Château videos on KZbin. I think this is because of your passion for the building, the charisma you all have olusxibtruly like to look of your Château

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Wow, thank you! 🤩

[@Nancyw823]

Your eye for color as well as motion of the pattern produces perfect wood grain . I admit I had my doubts in the beginning. Your blues are perfect matches. Another one of your amazing talents .

[@heidihalderman1118]

Terry! Thank heavens you persevered with your paint fiddling. It’s all wonderful. The wood paneling is going to blow everyone’s Sox off. The blue, grey, green is incredible.

[@lauraquigley6403]

The blue fabric is something I would use in my home! You all have a beautiful sense of design & elegance 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@andyroskamp5832]

Wow, I can't believe you are able to create those wood grains by hand! When I saw the first panel on the wall I assumed you used one of the rubber tools that you drag to make the wood grain. AMAZING! Beautiful!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you very much! 🥰

[@mocarra100]

At first, I was thinking, what, that's going to take forever! But Terry, you're BRILLIANT! Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@ritafoster4958]

Terry, I am in awe of your talent with colours and painting techniques! That you can create a wood grain effect with the same kitchen sponge I use to wash dishes just blows my mind! Bravo! Love the blue/ green shade you have arrived at using that swatch of fabric, too. Baahaahaa! Laughing at you saying creating the woodgraining is “ super easy”!! Maybe for an art god like you, Terry- but not for the rest of humanity like me! Next you’ll be telling us it’s another “ just job” ! ❤️😂🇨🇦

[@sandradavison4259]

When I was renovating my house in Australia I decided on the principal of a unified scheme throughout. So the main scheme was the traditional red green cream combo. But in each room the proportions changed. The living /dining predominately cream with touches of green and red/pink. One bedroom became the red room with smaller amounts of cream and green; the green bedroom with red/crème combo etch. This allows for an overall scheme with differences. It works for me and 20 years later people still comment about how lovely my house is. Just a thought boys.

[@vickisasso543]

Terry, this was so enlightening about your technique at making the wood grain into the wood panels. YOU are truly one talented guy!! IF you ever finish the chateau, you could hold various seminars about how you accomplish your designs. GOOD LUCK with the next stage of the 401 suite. Color choices are perfect!!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Wow, thank you Vicki 🥰

[@kathytiffin6518]

Yes, indeed, you could hold monthly seminars in the 'off-season', like Feb, Mar, & Apr. No more than 10 people at a time. You should have an assistant.

[@AllenHolland-rj3is]

Boy you got your work cut out for you. But will be fantastic in the end. Wishing you all a wonderful day from Michigan 🌈🌺💕🥰

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you! You too! 🥰

Thanks Pauline 🥰 🥰

[@ellaaltman2137]

ARTISTE! T, you totally rocked that "wood" finish and made it look effortless (for you at least)! Love the blue you have created and once again cannot wait to see this all come together! Merci!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Ella 🥰🥰

[@BarbaraHayes-nx4mc]

Absolutely amazing wood grain creation.

[@jodiewilcox6772]

Your attention to details blows me away! I love your color selections, and we can't wait to see all these pieces cone together! 🎉

[@susandellet7121]

The final colour scheme is lovely

[@sandramason16]

There are all beautiful, the touch of red was needed and lighter is the nicest. But Terrie will be in that room a lot of hours. Good luck!!!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

It will take a while 🥰

[@laurentbeaulieu4443]

the wood grain is soooo beautiful.

[@P.Galore]

Terry: Having worked a lot with faux wood painting using a latex base and then a stain/varnish you will learn that UV exposure and dehydration of the oils will lighten the panels substantially in a year or two. For this reason I would suggest going with your first darker panel. It will lighten.

[@thewilliamseswonderfulworld]

The wood grain looks so realistic! Great job!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you very much Dodi 🥰🥰

[@debraa.pimentel4151]

You all have done a stunning! STUNNING transformation this far.

[@Ragnar8504]

It's quite rare but these finishes didn't only come in natural wood tones. I've also seen faux graining with a green stain (something like a sage green). So you could use the same technique in the blue bedroom.

[@jennichristie5264]

The wood grain looks really effective. I guess the challenge will be to make each panel a little different from the ones next to it and above so that it’s not too repetitive or overwhelming. All the best.

[@marie-franceguigny5346]

Beautifull work for the wood effect, but personnally, i prefer à simple colour on an entire wall or room.

[@carladejonge4951]

What an undertaking, but it is beautiful! Terry, I am blown away at your creativity & style! I cannot wait to watch this transformation! No doubt, it will be amazing! Your vision, I trust & believe in! ❤❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@candacehari5531]

A suggestion re: the wood finish. There is a product called 'Retique It' that you paint on to pretty much any surface & you can then apply a stain over it & it looks like wood. It has little wood fibres in it. Could be a good middle ground between Tracey wanting to paint/do something more simple to execute & Terry wanting a timber finish ❤

[@evegalatis]

Can't wait to see all the finished painting!

[@tondakremble6660]

Terry, unbelievable what you've created with the paints & stains. Love the colors & designs you've chosen from them. Also kudos to Karen for the discovery of the gorgeous fabric. That being said going with the wood grain effect is going to be quite labor intensive & your the only 1 that can do it so it'll take more time & effort than just painting. I hope your up for it🤞. It's going to be a real show stopper! Good luck & God speed😊. So excited to see it.

[@maggieflatt9686]

The wood effect looks great, but that will be a massive amount of work.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Maggie 🥰

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much!! ☺️

[@annematten7218]

Dont forget to add a few knot holes when your graining, just twist a small brush occasionally ,gives a little authenticity. Your doing really well.

[@marjanvanpelt8283]

BEAUTIFULL BEAUTIFULL BEAUTIFULL ❤❤❤❤

[@katedunstall7222]

Crikey! You don’t make life easy for yourselves do you? 😂 I love the effects you’ve made. They will be gorgeous!

[@Jane-3229]

OMG Terry the wood effect looks amazing but you must have the patience of a saint to have to implement it! Good luck 😘 love the new blue green colours you have created x

[@alc7020]

Like your green-toned choice in blues and the paler choice for the bath. Very soothing tone to enjoy the tub and garden views.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@rayn8740]

The faux woodgrain looks great. What a gifted artist you are. If it's 'easy', as you claim, then crack on! Though, I suspect that 'easy' for you might not be as easy for the rest of us. You've acknowledged the enormity of the task, so you clearly feel that it's doable. A century ago, faux finish artisans were trained and practiced at the art form. I've seen it done with glorious success in stately homes. I trust that you will be channeling those ancient artists while transforming the room. Bonne chance! ❤ from TX!

[@susannahwhitaker994]

Oh Terry, you do believe in giving yourself the maximum amount of work lol. Us mere mortals put up wallpaper lol🤗

[@zurastewart6375]

Terry, You are so talented and quite the mixologist on paint & design. The fabric Karen sent is lovely and paint color you created is a perfect match. Cheers, z

[@jenib9615]

I was just wondering if you have seen the wood graining tool for painting wood grain. The Victorian era i believe really used this technique

[@LauraRoss-x2m]

Love the new colour scheme, the blue green is a fabulous choice

[@carolynwalker2713]

Using an oil based tinted glaze with a wood grain rocker is a much easier and quicker way of creating a natural wood grain effect. Not sure what you are using but oil glaze stays wetter for longer so you have a longer working time. You can create various grain effects with different rockers by varying the drag and rock and can soften with a badger hair brush.

[@maggiemaloney8599]

I love the wood effects, but gosh you have to do that whole room!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Yup! It’s a lot to do 🥰

[@donnaryan9365]

In the states we have “ special Tools” in our paint shops that you just glide through your chosen paint color and it automatically mimics the wood grain. Custom look always will save you HOURS OF TIME. If your interested let me know will be happy to send a couple your way

[@barbaramurray4191]

I am in awe at your patience and perseverance to achieve results. Each panel will be a work of art 👏🏻

[@binkkey2396]

You can buy a tool that makes wood grain patterns on smooth wood or metal doors. Cant believe you can do the same thing with a sponge. Well done.

[@maryjanekolesar8325]

Amazing! Can't even tell it's not real wood. ❤

[@tamaragarcia348]

You did an interesting wood technique, it involves a lot of steps, but looks like it would work wonderfully with what you want to do. The final color and fabric are just lovely. Great job as usual ❤

[@floridasunshine3916]

Omg. It’s going to take you forever to do that room if you do the wood grain. But I’m sure it will look beautiful when it’s done 😀

I love the wood effect!! I still love the darker tone ones as well but I see your point about having more play with the lighter design...really exceptional vision, as always!!

[@lauramclaine504]

Terry, after the château was done, you should really think about writing a book, the accomplishments that you all made on the château is amazing. You’re a talented artist. I would definitely buy the book.

[@deannamack2199]

Watching another beautiful suite coming to life is extremely enjoyable! The wood grain effect is going to be amazing, but if you decide later that it is too much, you can just paint it again! 😊

My mum did a fake wood effect on our hall landing and stairs( we lived in a big old mill owners house in Lancashire so there was a lot of panellling to do) amd she used a hair comb and a feather to simulate the grain. It was a long laborious process ! So good luck !😊

[@kathytiffin6518]

WOW! You are a wizard with design and paint and imagination. Personally, I like mahogany colors and the more complex grain.

[@PatriciaDelsey]

Loving the “fake” panel look. Very exceptional colour choices to match the fabric for the bedroom. Love the fabric, by the way. Great choice of the lighter paint colour for the bathroom.

Loved all the effects, and the colours will certainly take all your detailed instruction on board when I do my next project 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀👌👌

[@cherilynn8852]

Terry, there's a 'liquid wood' product, called "Retique It", in the U.S. that you apply over a painted surface and then you can stain it and it looks like wood. I saw it being used in a video called 'French Provincial BATHROOM MAKEOVER *Full Transformation*' by XO MaCenna 9 months ago.

[@lisagauden22]

Terry, you have such a good eye. The faux graining is gorgeous. But what a load of work!

[@posnrg2u327]

It will be a fantastic affect but the process is going to be intensely time consuming (base color, ring lines, feathering, imperfections details, feathering, dry time, staining, dry time, varnish- for the whole room!). Love the look, but don’t get frustrated by the time it will take. You are an artist and love the details, don’t get discouraged by the time factor, it will look spectacular. My words of encouragement ❤️🏰
